An MSNBC article advises potential buyers to beware when checking out green claims. The author warns: “If green is the new black, then greenwashing — the practice of putting an eco-friendly spin on a not-so-eco-friendly product or company — is the new gray area.”

One of the key sources for sound advice cited by the author? None other than the Responsible Purchasing Network.
